Assembly Instructions

How to use

If you are using a 1020 UBT, do not place the seed heating mat inside. It should be placed under the tray.

Do not immerse the LED panel in water.
Simply place your seed starting trays, cells, or houseplants within a bottom tray. Water them as needed depending on ambient conditions.

For newly started seedlings: Set the light to the lowest setting above your sprouts after they emerge. Then adjust the height to the tallest setting as your seedlings grow taller.

For small houseplants: Set to whichever setting keeps the light at least 6 inches above your plant’s leaves. Offset the light for those plants that require bright, indirect lighting. 

How to Clean Your Epic Seed Starting Grow Light:

DO NOT immerse the grow light or integrated bottom tray in water. Instead, spot clean the surface and side brackets with a damp cloth as needed. Separate UBTs can be cleaned with dish soap in between uses.

Why You'll Love It

Not only does this grow light fit well with our Epic cell trays, and seed heating mat, its adjustable LED makes growing seedlings through their time indoors easy.

Get Started With Confidence

Simple Step-By-Step Guide To Starting Seeds At Home

Step 1

Use a fine-particulate seed starting soil and pre-moisten it before filling the cell trays. Avoid chunky or woody potting blends that may create air pockets next to your planted seeds.

Step 2

Be sure to follow the sowing depth instructions on your seed packet! Some seeds like to be sown deeply, while others prefer being on or barely under the soil.

Step 3

A germination dome helps retain moisture in the soil. You’ll still need to water, but less often. Check regularly to ensure the soil stays evenly damp during germination and plant development.

Step 4

If your seeds prefer warm soil temperatures, use our seedling heat mat to warm the soil. Our grow lights provide ideal lighting for newly germinated plants until it’s time to transplant.

Step 5

Remove the germination dome when your seedlings are about an inch tall to allow for more airflow.

    Shipped Broken

    I brought two Standard Grow Lights during the Black Friday Sale. I finally opened one and use it to grow lettuce. However as soon as I removed to the lighting part of the foam one of its plastic ends flopped out of position. Upon closer inspection the plastic around the two screws holding it in place was broken. If it is jostled by even a little bit the plastic pops off. I am really disappointed that I would get a broken assembly upon opening. I should not have to go to the hardware store for a DIY fix for a new appliance.

    Outside of that, it seems to work okay. I appreciate the timer setting. I am curious to see if I could grow long day onions with it.

    I like it!

    I really like this seed starting set up. It’s perfect for me because I have a small garden and I can get everything I want started for spring and fall when the time is right. I also like the fact that I can bottom water with no problem and adjust lighting as my plants grow. All in all I’m a fan. If you have a large garden you might require a more elaborate set up, but I love it.

    Hey Teresa P.,

    What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Epic Seed Starting Grow Lights Standard setup is working so perfectly for your small garden needs - that's exactly what makes this system so special for gardeners who want maximum results without taking over their entire house!

    Your experience really highlights what we love most about this grow light setup - it's all about giving you that perfect balance of functionality and manageable size! The fact that you can get everything started for both your spring AND fall plantings shows just how versatile and efficient this system really is. There's something so satisfying about having that reliable setup ready to go whenever the planting calendar calls for it.

    We love that you're taking full advantage of the bottom watering feature! That's such a game-changer for seed starting because it keeps everything evenly moist without disturbing those delicate little seedlings. And the adjustable lighting is pure genius - being able to keep that perfect distance as your plants grow taller means they get exactly the light they need at every stage without getting leggy or stressed.

    Your point about larger gardens needing more elaborate setups is so spot-on! This system really shines for gardeners who want professional-quality results in a compact, manageable package. It's all about finding that sweet spot where you get everything you need without the complexity and space requirements of bigger commercial setups.

    Your enthusiasm for this grow light system will be so helpful for other small-space gardeners who want to maximize their growing season!

    Keep on growing 🌻️
